↳ Enter the enchanting world of Remi, an elegant Saluki with a lustrous golden coat that glinted like sunlit sand. Remi's story began in the embrace of a warm and affectionate home, where she and her spirited brother, Lazar, reveled in the love of their first family. Born to a lively litter of 5 that showed promising aspects in both showing and competition events, it was long before all the pups were claimed. Destiny took a benevolent turn when the compassionate Avery, a woman with a heart as vast as the fields they would later roam, adopted the inseparable duo of Remi and Lazar, together!

Under Avery's patient guidance, Remi and Lazar blossomed into stars within the world of dog sports. Their days were a vibrant tapestry of agility courses, thrilling lure coursing adventures, and precision-demanding obedience trials. Together, they formed a triumphant trio, where the bond between human and hound became an unspoken language of love and shared victories.

Along with the two was Calista, a feathered fawn Saluki that Avery had already owned. She was an astound show dog that competed well at both at confirmation shows and sports shows. She was the most beautiful dog that Remi had ever seen and he was in love with her since the moment he was mature enough to have those emotions. Lazar told Remi it would never work but that didn't stop him from falling head over heals.

After Remi was 2 years old, had successfully won multiple titles, and cleared his OFA testing, Avery decided to breed Remi.  Even after fathering two other litters, Remi just couldn't get over Calista. What made it worse was that Avery decided to pair Calista and Remi together for her last litter before retiring her of her breeding and competition careers. Unfortunately for Remi, Calista never reciprocated those feelings and especially made it clear after they had their litter together. Though Remi never made his feelings clear, Calista knew that Remi was in love with her and finally told him that it would never happen after they bred. This broke them even more as they had grown more attached after the pairing . What made it even worse was that Calista told Remi that she was in love with Avery's friend's German Shepherd Dionysus.

The winds of fate, however, shifted even more for Remi when they faced a career-altering injury during a fiercely contested competition. The once agile Saluki found themself grappling with lameness, their dreams of athletic glory dashed. Avery, with a heart as vast as the fields they once traversed together, made the compassionate decision to retire Remi from the demanding world of competitive sports and breeding when deciding to get him neutered after his injury.

Remi's transition from the heart-pounding arenas to the comforting haven of home became a poignant tale of adaptation and resilience. Now stuck at home with Calista, feeling more alone then Remi had ever felt. This was a very dark time for them as they grappled with losing both loves of their life - competing and Calista. Lazar, attuned to his sibling's needs, stood by their side as a steadfast pillar of support.

Remi slowly began to accept his new life, reveled in the simple joys of sun-soaked naps, leisurely strolls, and the profound connection forged through shared experiences. The house that once echoed with the rhythmic pulse of competition now resonated with the quiet symphony of enduring companionship. Though Lazar and Avery still competed from time to time, Remi started to enjoy watching their sibling excel at what they both once did together with a sense of pride and joy instead of sitting heavily in the emotions of his own failure.

Eventually Remi was also able to overcome the hurt he felt from Calista and they actually became very close in her last years of life. Remi grew out of a relationship love and was able to form a very close companionship to her with more of a sibling or mother/child relationship. After Calista's passing, it left a very large whole in everyone's heart and Remi doesn't know if he will ever be able to love the same.

To New Beginnings

In the quiet aftermath of Calista's passing, the once vibrant household seemed to carry the weight of grief. Lazar, ever nonchalant, continued his usual routine, but Remi, the Saluki with a heart as golden as his coat, remained in mourning. The joy that once echoed through their days had given way to a somber atmosphere, with Remi moping around the house, disinterested in the activities that once brought him boundless happiness.

Avery, their compassionate owner, noticed the palpable void left by Calista's absence. Contemplating whether to introduce a new companion into their lives, she found herself torn between respecting Remi's grieving process and the longing for the lively energy that defined their canine trio. A few months passed, and Avery stumbled upon an ad seeking a foster home for a dog at their local animal shelter.

Uncertain but compelled by a growing sense of possibility, Avery embarked on a mission one morning, leaving Remi lounging on the couch and Lazar happily occupied with his cherished toy. The house, once vibrant with the echoes of canine joy, now held a quiet anticipation. Avery returned later that day, the familiar rumble of her car heralding her arrival.

As the door swung open, Lazar, in his usual nonchalant manner, ambled over to greet their owner. However, to his surprise, Avery was not alone. Another dog, a newcomer to their world, stood beside her. Remi, sensing the unfamiliar presence, lifted his head in mild curiosity but remained rooted on the couch. His grief-lined eyes watched as Lazar approached the newcomer, a canine curiosity lighting up his face.

Avery, with a gentle smile, ushered the new dog into the space that had once been exclusively occupied by Remi, Lazar, and the dearly missed Calista. Remi, uninterested at first, cautiously approached the newcomer, his nose betraying a subtle curiosity. Slowly circling the visitor, Remi assessed the situation with a watchful eye. Satisfied that the new addition posed no threat, he retreated to his familiar spot on the couch, a silent acknowledgment that change had come.

From Fame and Glory

Even after Avery stepped away from the intricate world of breeding and showing Salukis, her connections with fellow enthusiasts and competitors remained steadfast. One evening, a text from a seasoned competitor brought unexpected news—a retired dog, once a star in the competitive circuit, was casually seeking a new home. Though the competitor cherished the dog deeply, they recognized the potential for more attention and love in a different setting. With the void left by Calista's absence still palpable, Avery saw an opportunity to fill their home with canine companionship once more.

Eager to ensure a harmonious introduction, Avery loaded Remi and Lazar into the car, setting a course for a dog park nestled between her home and the dog's current owner. Choosing a secluded and rarely frequented park, she arrived ahead of schedule, granting Remi and Lazar the freedom to explore the enclosed area off-leash. Although Avery wasn't a fan of dog parks, this particular spot provided the seclusion and calm atmosphere she deemed suitable for this crucial meeting. The late evening hour ensured only one other person and their canine companion shared the space.

Remi, the graceful Saluki, embarked on his usual leisurely exploration, his slender frame moving gracefully as he meandered through the park, occasionally pausing to investigate intriguing scents. Meanwhile, Lazar, known for his sudden bursts of energy, darted off, enjoying the liberating expanse of the park. An unexpected playmate, the other dog in the park, joined Lazar in spirited romps on the opposite end.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, you and your owner arrived, walking over to Avery for introductions and conversation. Leashes were exchanged for the freedom of exploration, and you were released to join the lively dynamics of the park. The air buzzed with anticipation as the dogs, each with their unique energy and temperament, began to interact. Remi, dignified and reserved, observed the newcomers with a watchful eye, while Lazar, exuberant and playful, welcomed the opportunity for new friendships.

Avery and your owner exchanged stories and observations, gauging the compatibility of the canine quartet. The park, bathed in the soft glow of evening, became the backdrop for the unfolding tale of connections, as canine paws padded softly across the grass, weaving a story of potential companionship and the promise of a new chapter in the lives of Remi, Lazar, and their yet-to-be-named fellow adventurer.

Blended

In the intricate dance of merging lives, Avery and her partner (your owner) decided to take a significant step forward in their relationship by moving in together. This marked a turning point not only for the human members of the household but also for their canine companions—Remi, Lazar, and yourself. The initial excitement of the move gradually gave way to the intricacies of adjustment, and while Lazar extended a friendly welcome, Remi remained somewhat elusive.

As the seasons changed and winter descended upon the household, a palpable chill seemed to permeate the air, not only outside but within the dynamics of the blended canine family. The absence of the familiar companionship of your neighbors' dog left a void that echoed through the quiet moments. You missed having the companionship you seemed to lack with Remi. The stoic Saluki, became a mysterious enigma, hardly engaged in conversations and was seemingly indifferent to the changes unfolding around him.

One cold winter's day, as a blanket of snow draped the landscape in white, you stumbled upon a sight that gave you pause—Remi, alone in the yard, wincing with each step. The stoicism that usually defined him seemed momentarily shattered as he hobbled towards the house, his movements pained and labored. It was then that you noticed the occasional favoring of his right front paw, a subtle yet poignant detail that hadn't escaped your watchful eyes.

Concerned for Remi's well-being, you approached him gently, your breath visible in the crisp winter air. His eyes, usually distant and reserved, betrayed a flicker of discomfort. Though Remi seldom spoke to you, the language of his body spoke volumes. It was evident that something was amiss, and the once graceful Saluki now struggled with each step, the winter cold seemingly amplifying his physical discomfort.

Hesitant to intrude upon Remi's solitude, you debated whether to bring your observation to Avery's attention. The quiet unease in the household seemed to deepen with this newfound revelation, and you couldn't shake the feeling that Remi's pain went beyond the visible limp. As the winter day unfolded, so did the mystery surrounding Remi's ailment, unraveling a narrative of silent struggles and the unspoken language of canine companions grappling with the complexities of change.
